U23 France had their score shortened thanks to 3-year-old striker Andre-Pierre Gignac on the 11-meter mark in the 67th minute, but U23 France's hopes were quickly extinguished. In the 80th minute, Les Bleus' defense played like a dream for Carlos Uriel Antuna Romero to dribble the ball away like no one had entered the penalty area and then fired an accurate shot with his left foot to increase the score to 3-1. After that, Eduardo Aguirre scored to help Mexico U23 crush France U23.4-1.
